RISARC Consulting LLC and its charitable arm CCGI Foundation will showcase new couture lines from leading fashion designers during the Fifth Annual CCGI Celebrity Golf, Champions of Champions II fight night and Charity Event in Montego Bay, Jamaica on Friday, June 26th.

For the first time ever, fashion meets fight night as top fashion show producer and runway instructor Michael Maddox teams up with the CCGI Foundation to showcase collections from fashion lines Alexander McQueen, Parasuco, House of Howe, Thomas Wylde, Sterling Capricio, Dena Burton, and John Varvatos. The fashion show will cap off a week of sporting and multi-cultural events organized to donate computers and create technology learning centers for economically challenged countries such as Jamaica.

This year marks the fifth anniversary of the annual CCGI charity event and the first to incorporate a fashion show. Taking place on a specially designed runway during the Event's Champions of Champions II Muay Thai fight night, the showcase will mark the first time that a fashion runway has been specially designed and incorporated during a sporting event.

Jamaican and International models will don some of the industry's hottest designs from never before seen collections, as the world's most anticipated Muay Thai match-ups take place. The fight features 10 world titles and international fighters from across the globe representing 12 countries.
